What nobody told me about love is sometimes you have to run from it. To save yourself the pain you don't need to experience. That when you see a cliff with jagged rocks and crashing waves at the bottom, its okay to stop running towards it. You can stop. You can put distance between yourself and the inevitable pain of falling. That someone won't always be falling with you. They won't be there to catch you when you land, leaving you to break over the stones. They don't mean to hurt you. They intend to be happy and you aren't always the solution. It's not your right to get in the way. As someone who loves them its your job to stand aside and allow them the peace and happiness you always wanted to provide them. Even if it doesn't come from you. Nobody told me all is fair in love and war because they are the same thing. To love is to be at war with your own logic. Love is pure, untainted and vicious. It holds you hostage and shows you things you never knew about yourself. Nobody told me it was standing in a kaleidoscope. Everything spinning and brilliant and colourful and twisting. Warping always. That you have to navigate blindly and hope you don't cut yourself on a jagged edge. And thats what nobody told me about love.
